WWE Crown Jewel event was indeed a bang! The event began with the long-awaited rematch between the two legendary heavyweights, Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley. The Almighty did not even wait for the bell to ring as he attacked Lesnar during his entrance. A plethora of spears followed at the ringside as Lashley went on immediate offense. This left The Beast as well as the fans shell-shocked as the fans were still busy finding their seats.

Both the wrestlers with an MMA background hooked the fans during the match build-up. And the multiple brawls between the two had surely hyped up a hard-hitting encounter in the lead-up.

Lashley looked to end the match in a hurry as he went on to hit the third spear to Lesnar in the ring, but he miraculously kicked out. He did regain his composure and went on a spree of suplexes to thwart Lashley before an F-5 which led to a failed pin attempt.

Lashley let out his feelings after the match

The match finished with a controversial ending as Lesnar, still engulfed in the hurt lock, pinned Lashley. The match ended as surprisingly as it started and The Almighty, in a fit of anger, attacked Lesnar immediately after the finish. Lashley, looking visibly upset, was asked about his post-match attack on Brock Lesnar during a backstage segment.

How Much Money Did Bobby Lashley Make in His MMA Career?

He went on a rant, stating “Why did I attack him? I was ready to go to war. I was ready to die out there. There’s not a tomorrow for me, there’s not a day after tomorrow, there’s a now. That was the biggest challenge that I had. It was beating Brock Lesnar that’s what people had been talking for years and I went out there and failed. That’s what you want to hear, that’s what you want me to tell you I failed.”

“So back to the drawing board now, Quit? Give up? What can I do? That was the task, that was the match and I was supposed to win, and then now what?” said the former WWE champion before storming out of the building in disgust.
